Sorry bd – I have never seen a debate that brought anyone to the truth…is debating even Biblical..?? The reason I’m on this site is to reprove and bring correction – not to debate. BTW I have ressponded to your questions.

Actually I called it a discussion but of course debate is biblical and it has brought people to the truth, besides that what do you think Jesus was doing throughout the entire gospel? He was debating and it was through his debating that many listening to him started following him. and not just him, they all did it:

Acts 15:7
And after there had been much debate, Peter stood up and said to them, “Brothers, you know that in the early days God made a choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel and believe.

There are several things that you have attributed to Jesus that I have shown you applies equally elsewhere to other prophets why should this not be a though discussion, if you are proved right wouldn’t that be good for me and all else watching?
